IMPRQVEMENT IN FLEXIBLE SUPPORTS FCR MATTRESSES, SEATS, &c.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 137,718, dated April 8, 1873,* application filed March 12, 1873. Y

Y invention as it would appear applied to a car seat.

The invention relates to a flexible support for mattresses or a seat for cars, chairs, sofas, 8vo; audit consists in two thicknesses of cloth or other lexible material placed one upon the other and united together at suitable intervals to form pockets, into which are placed wooden or other iiexible slats, all as will be hereinafter explained.

In the drawing, A B represent two fabrics,

the former being carpeting for winter use, and the latter linen or duck for summer use. These fabrics are sewn or otherwise fastened together at intervals, as shown by the seams l1. This forms pockets, in which are inserted slats (l, preferably oblong in cross-section. These suiiiciently stiffen, re-enforce, and hold the two fabrics in the desired shape, while they do not destroy the `required flexibility, and allow the article to be easily and conveniently rolled up and packed away.

Havin'g thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As an article of manufacture, a flexible mattress support or seat for cars, chairs, Ste., formed of two face-fabrics, A B, seamed at b, and provided with intermediate sla-ts C, as described.
